(d): The Funding Note represented by the Funding Note Certificate executed, authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Section in lieu of any apparently destroyed, lost or stolen Funding Note Certificate shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of Global Funding, whether or not any obligation with respect to the Funding Note represented by the apparently destroyed, lost or stolen Funding Note Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by any Person, and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of the Funding Note Indenture equally and proportionately with the Funding Note duly issued under the Funding Note Indenture.

the Funding Note Indenture Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment of Defaulted Interest.

SECTION 2.9 CANCELLATION.

(a): The Funding Note shall be cancelled immediately upon the transfer by Global Funding to, or as directed by, the Issuing Trust of each funding agreement identified on Annex A to the Series Instrument, and such cancellation shall operate as a redemption of, and satisfaction of indebtedness represented by, the Funding Note.

Unless otherwise specified in the Funding Note Certificate, Global Funding will not pay any Additional Amounts to the Holders of the Funding Note in the event that any withholding or deduction is so required by law, regulation or official interpretation thereof, and the imposition of a requirement to make any such withholding or deduction will not give rise to any independent right or obligation to redeem or repay the Funding Note and shall not constitute an Event of Default.

SECTION 5.5 RESTORATION OF RIGHTS ON ABANDONMENT OF PROCEEDINGS. If the Funding Note Indenture Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under the Funding Note Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee, then and in every such case Global Funding and the Funding Note Indenture Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former

Upon receiving such notice of resignation, Global Funding shall promptly cause a successor trustee with respect to the applicable series to be appointed by written instrument in duplicate, executed by Global Funding, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

(b)

If at any time:

(i): the Funding Note Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.7(a) or the requirements of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act or any applicable Supplemental Funding Note Indenture and shall fail to resign pursuant to Section 6.7(b) or following written request therefor by Global Funding or by any such Holder pursuant to Section 6.8(c);

SECTION 6.9 ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE.

(a): Every successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 6.8 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Global Funding and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor under the Funding Note Indenture, with like effect as if originally named as trustee under the Funding Note Indenture; but, nevertheless, on the written request of Global Funding or of the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, the trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section 11.4, pay over to the successor trustee all funds at the time held by it under the Funding Note Indenture and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor trustee, Global Funding shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Subject to the Lien created under the Funding Note Indenture, any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a claim upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.6.
(b): Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Funding Note Indenture Trustee as provided in this Section 6.9, Global Funding shall notify each Holder of the Funding Note and each

rating agency then rating the Funding Note at the request of Global Funding.

If Global Funding fails to make such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Funding Note Indenture Trustee, the successor Funding Note Indenture Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of Global Funding.

The record of any meeting of Holders of the Funding Note shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 12.6.
(b): Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action of the Holder of the Funding Note shall bind every future Holder of the same Funding Note and the Holder of every Funding Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Funding Note Indenture Trustee or Global Funding in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Funding Note.

SECTION 8.4 PERSONS DEEMED TO BE OWNERS. Global Funding, the Funding Note Indenture Trustee and any agent of Global Funding or the Funding Note Indenture Trustee may deem and treat the Holder of the Funding Note of as the absolute owner of such Funding Note (whether or not such Funding Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, any premium on, and, subject to the provisions of the Funding Note Indenture, any interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, such Funding Note and for all other purposes; and neither Global Funding nor the Funding Note Indenture Trustee nor any agent of Global Funding or the Funding Note Indenture Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of the Funding Note or proxy.
(d): Any meeting of Holders of the Funding Note duly called pursuant to Section 12.2 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Funding Note represented at the meeting; and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in triplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in triplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of the Funding Note shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 12.2 and, if applicable, Section 12.4. Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to Global Funding, and another to the

Funding Note Indenture Trustee to be preserved by the Funding Note Indenture Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

ARTICLE 13
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

SECTION 13.1 NO RECOURSE. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Funding Note Indenture, or the Funding Note Certificate or Supplemental Funding Note Indenture, none of the Funding Agreement Provider, its officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, or any of the Delaware Trustee, the Funding Note Indenture Trustee or the Global Funding Trust Beneficial Owner, or any of their officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents (the "NONRECOURSE PARTIES") will be personally liable for the payment of any principal, interest or any other sums at any time owing under the terms of the Funding Note. If any Event of Default shall occur with respect to the Funding Note, the right of the Holders of the Funding Note and the Funding Note Indenture Trustee on behalf of such Holders in connection with a claim on the Funding Note shall be limited solely to a proceeding against the Collateral. Neither the Holders nor the Funding Note Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Holders will have the right to proceed against the Nonrecourse Parties to enforce the Funding Note (except that to the extent they exercise their rights, if any, to seize the relevant Funding Agreement, they may enforce the relevant Funding Agreement against the Funding Agreement Provider) or for any deficiency judgment remaining after foreclosure of any property included in the relevant Collateral.

It is expressly understood and agreed that nothing contained in this Section shall in any manner or way constitute or be deemed a release of the debt or other obligations evidenced by the Funding Note or otherwise affect or impair the enforceability against Global Funding of the liens, assignments, rights and the Security Interest created by or pursuant to the Funding Note Indenture, the relevant Collateral or any other instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating to the indebtedness or the obligations evidenced by the Funding Note. Nothing in this Section shall preclude the Holders from foreclosing upon any property included in the Collateral or any other rights or remedies in law or in equity against Global Funding.

SECTION 13.2 PROVISIONS OF INDENTURE FOR THE SOLE BENEFIT OF PARTIES AND HOLDERS. Nothing in the Funding Note Indenture or in the Funding Note, expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties to the Funding Note Indenture and their successors and the Holders of the Funding Note, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under the Funding Note Indenture or under any covenant or provision contained in the Funding Note Indenture, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties to the Funding Note Indenture and their successors and of the Holders of the Funding Note.

SECTION 13.3 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OF TRUST BOUND BY INDENTURE. All the covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements in the Funding Note Indenture contained by or in behalf of Global Funding shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 13.4 NOTICES AND DEMANDS ON TRUST, FUNDING NOTE INDENTURE TRUSTEE AND ANY HOLDER.

(a): Except as otherwise provided by this Section, any notice or demand which by any provision of the Funding Note Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served by the Funding Note Indenture Trustee or by any Holder of the Funding Note to or on Global Funding may be given or served by being deposited postage prepaid, first-class mail (except as otherwise specifically provided in the Funding Note Indenture) addressed (until another address of Global Funding is filed by Global Funding with the Funding Note Indenture Trustee) to the Delaware Trustee. Any notice, direction, request or demand by Global Funding or any Holder

to or upon the Funding Note Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given or made, for all purposes, if given or made at the Corporate Trust Office.

(b)

Where the Funding Note Indenture provides for notice to any Holder, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise expressly provided in the Funding Note Indenture) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder entitled thereto, at such Holder's last address as it appears in the Note Register. In any case where notice to any Holder is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to any other Holder.

(c)

Where the Funding Note Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by any Holder shall be filed with the Funding Note Indenture Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

(d)

If, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service, it shall be impracticable to mail notice to Global Funding and each Holder when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of the Funding Note Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

(e)

Global Funding shall deliver promptly to each rating agency then rating the Funding Note copies of each of the following:

(i): any repurchase of the Funding Note pursuant to Section 3.3;
(ii): any notice of any default or Event of Default;
(iii): any notice of redemption provided by Global Funding pursuant to Section 3.1(d);

(iv): a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such Person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

(c)

Any certificate, statement or opinion of Global Funding may be based upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by counsel, unless Global Funding knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. Any certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters information with respect to which is in the possession of Global Funding, upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or representations by Global Funding, unless such counsel knows that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which the certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous.

(e): Any certificate or opinion of any independent firm of public accountants filed with the Funding Note Indenture Trustee shall contain a statement that such firm is independent.

SECTION 13.6 GOVERNING LAW. Pursuant to Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law of the State of New York, the Funding Note Indenture and the Funding Note shall (unless specified otherwise in the Funding Note Certificate) be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, except as required by mandatory provisions of law and except to the extent that the validity or perfection of Global Funding's ownership of and security interest in the Funding Agreement(s) or remedies under the Funding Note Indenture in respect thereof may be governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York. All judicial proceedings brought against Global Funding or the Funding Note Indenture Trustee arising out of or relating to the Funding Note Indenture, the Funding Note or any portion of the Collateral or other assets of Global Funding may be brought in any state or Federal court in the State of New York, provided that the Funding Note Certificate may specify other jurisdictions as to which Global Funding may consent to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of its courts with respect to the Funding Note.

SECTION 13.7 COUNTERPARTS. The Funding Note Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

SECTION 13.8 TRUST INDENTURE ACT TO CONTROL.

(a): if for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the Funding Note in the Specified Currency into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the "JUDGMENT CURRENCY"), the rate of exchange used (the "REQUIRED RATE OF EXCHANGE") shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Funding Note Indenture Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Specified Currency with the Judgment Currency on the date on which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking Day, then, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Funding Note Indenture Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the Specified Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered;
(b): its obligations under the Funding Note Indenture to make payments in the Specified Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Specified Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Specified Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Specified Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Specified Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under the Funding Note Indenture; and

(c)

it shall indemnify the Holder or Holders of the Funding Note against any loss incurred as a result of any variation between:

(i): the rate of exchange at which the Specified Currency amount is actually converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of that judgment or order; and
(ii): the Required Rate of Exchange.

ARTICLE 14
SECURITY INTEREST

SECTION 14.1 SECURITY INTEREST.

(a): To secure the full and punctual payment of the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Funding Note Indenture and to secure the performance of Global Funding's obligations under the Funding Note and the Funding Note Indenture, Global Funding pledges and collaterally assigns to and with the Funding Note Indenture Trustee for the benefit of each Holder of the Funding Note and any other Person for whose benefit the Funding Note Indenture Trustee is or will be holding the Collateral (the "SECURED PARTIES"), and grants to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee for the benefit of each Secured Party, a security interest in the Collateral specified in the Pricing Supplement as securing the Obligations with respect to the Funding Note, and all of the rights and privileges of Global Funding in and to the Collateral (the "SECURITY INTEREST"), effective as of the Original Issue Date of the Funding Note.
(b): It is expressly agreed that anything therein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, Global Funding shall remain liable under each Funding Agreement to perform all the obligations assumed by it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and provisions thereof, and the Funding Note Indenture Trustee shall not have any obligations or liabilities by reason of or arising out of the Funding Note Indenture, nor shall the Funding Note Indenture Trustee be required or obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any obligations of Global Funding under or pursuant to such Funding Agreement or to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or, prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, to present or file any claim, or to take any action to collect or enforce the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
(c): The Funding Note Indenture Trustee acknowledges the grant of the Security Interest upon the issuance of the Funding Note, accepts the trusts under the Funding Note Indenture in accordance with the provisions of the Funding Note Indenture and agrees to perform its duties in the Funding Note Indenture to the end that the interests of each Secured Party may be adequately and effectively protected.

SECTION 14.2 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Global Funding represents and warrants (which representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been repeated as of the date of the Funding Note Certificate) as follows:

(a): Global Funding owns each Funding Agreement that secures the Obligations and all of the rest of the Collateral, free and clear of any Liens other than the Security Interest in the Collateral.
(b): Global Funding has not performed any acts which might prevent the Funding Note Indenture Trustee from enforcing any of the terms of the Funding Note Indenture or which would limit

the Funding Note Indenture Trustee in any such enforcement. Other than financing statements or other similar or equivalent documents or instruments with respect to the Security Interest, no financing statement, mortgage, security agreement or similar or equivalent document or instrument covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file or of record in any jurisdiction in which such filing or recording would be effective to perfect a Lien on such Collateral. No Collateral is in the possession of any Person (other than Global Funding or its agent) asserting any claim thereto or security interest therein, except that the Funding Note Indenture Trustee or its designee may have possession of Collateral as contemplated by the Funding Note Indenture.

(c): Each Security Interest constitutes a valid security interest securing the Obligations. When (i) the financing statements shall have been filed in the appropriate offices in Illinois, Delaware and New York, (ii) the Funding Note Indenture Trustee or its agent shall have taken possession of each applicable Funding Agreement, (iii) Global Funding shall have pledged and collaterally assigned each applicable Funding Agreement to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee and given written notice to the Funding Agreement Provider of each such assignment to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee and (iv) the Funding Agreement Provider shall have given its express written consent to such pledge and collateral assignment and affirmed in writing that the Funding Agreement Provider has changed its books and records to reflect such pledge and collateral assignment to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee, such Security Interest shall constitute a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral, enforceable against Global Funding, Global Funding's creditors and any purchaser from Global Funding.

SECTION 14.3 ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Global Funding represents and warrants that:

(a): to the extent the creation of a security interest in any Funding Agreement is governed by the applicable UCC, the Funding Note Indenture creates a valid security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in each Funding Agreement in favor of the Funding Note Indenture Trustee for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties, which security interest is prior to all other Liens;
(b): to the extent the UCC applies, each Funding Agreement consists of "general intangibles," "payment intangibles" and/or "instruments" within the meaning of the applicable UCC;
(c): subject to the grant of security interest, pledge and collateral assignment of Global Funding's estate, right, title and interest in each Funding Agreement, Global Funding is a party to and is the Person entitled to payment under each Funding Agreement on the date of the Funding Note Indenture free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person, other then the Lien created under the Funding Note Indenture or any Lien otherwise permitted under the Funding Note Indenture;
(d): to the extent the UCC applies, Global Funding has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the date of the Funding Note Indenture, the filing of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security interest in each Funding Agreement granted to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties under the Funding Note Indenture;
(e): all original executed copies of each instrument that constitutes or evidences each Funding Agreement have been delivered to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee or a custodian for the Funding Note Indenture Trustee (the "CUSTODIAN");
(f): where all original executed copies of each instrument that constitutes or evidences each Funding Agreement have been delivered to the Custodian, Global Funding has received a

written acknowledgment from the Custodian that the Custodian is holding the instruments that constitute or evidence each Funding Agreement solely on behalf of the Funding Note Indenture Trustee;

(g): other than the security interest granted to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Funding Note Indenture, Global Funding has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Funding Agreements;
(h): Global Funding has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against Global Funding that include a description of collateral covering the Funding Agreement other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties under the Funding Note Indenture or that has been terminated;
(i): Global Funding is not aware of any judgment or tax lien filings against Global Funding; and
(j): none of the instruments that constitute or evidence the Funding Agreements has any marks or notations indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the Funding Note Indenture Trustee for the benefit and security of the Secured Parties.

The foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of the Funding Note. No party to the Funding Note Indenture shall waive any of the foregoing representations and warranties. Global Funding shall maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest in each Funding Agreement.

SECTION 14.4 FURTHER ASSURANCES; COVENANTS.

(a): Global Funding will not change its name, identity or organizational structure in any manner unless it shall have given the Funding Note Indenture Trustee at least 30 days' prior notice thereof. Global Funding will not change the location of its chief executive office or chief place of business unless it shall have given the Funding Note Indenture Trustee at least 30 days' prior notice thereof.
(b): Global Funding will, from time to time and upon advice of counsel, at Global Funding's expense, execute, deliver, file and record any statement, assignment, instrument, document, agreement or other paper and take any other action, (including, without limitation, any filings of financing or continuation statements) that from time to time may be necessary or desirable, or that the Funding Note Indenture Trustee may reasonably request, in order to create, preserve, perfect, confirm or validate a Security Interest or to enable the Holders of the Funding Note to obtain the full benefits of the Funding Note Indenture, or to enable the Funding Note Indenture Trustee to exercise and enforce any of its rights, powers and remedies under the Funding Note Indenture with respect to any Collateral. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Global Funding authorizes the Funding Note Indenture Trustee to execute and file financing statements or continuation statements without Global Funding's signature appearing thereon. Global Funding agrees that a carbon, photographic, photostatic or other reproduction of the Funding Note Indenture or of a financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement. Global Funding shall pay the costs of, or incidental to, any recording or filing of any financing or continuation statements concerning any Collateral.
(c): If any Collateral is at any time in the possession or control of any warehouseman, bailee or any of Global Funding's agents or processors, Global Funding shall notify such warehouseman, bailee, agent or processor of the Security Interest created by the Funding Note Indenture and

to hold all such Collateral for the Funding Note Indenture Trustee's account subject to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee's instructions.

(d): Global Funding will, promptly upon request, provide to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee all information and evidence it may reasonably request concerning the Collateral to enable the Funding Note Indenture Trustee to enforce the provisions of the Funding Note Indenture.
(e): Not more than six months nor less than 30 days prior to each date on which Global Funding proposes to take any action contemplated by Section 14.4(a), Global Funding shall, at its cost and expense, cause to be delivered to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee, to the effect that all financing statements and amendments or supplements thereto, continuation statements and other documents required to be recorded or filed in order to perfect and protect the Security Interest for a period, specified in such Opinion of Counsel, continuing until a date not earlier than 18 months from the date of such Opinion of Counsel, against all creditors of and purchasers from Global Funding have been filed in each filing office necessary for such purpose and that all filing fees and taxes, if any, payable in connection with such filings have been paid in full.
(f): From time to time upon request by the Funding Note Indenture Trustee, Global Funding shall, at its cost and expense, cause to be delivered to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Funding Note Indenture Trustee as to such matters relating to the Security Interest as the Funding Note Indenture Trustee or the Holder Representative may reasonably request.

SECTION 14.5 GENERAL AUTHORITY. Global Funding irrevocably appoints the Funding Note Indenture Trustee its true and lawful attorney, with full power of substitution, in the name of Global Funding, the Funding Note Indenture Trustee, the Holders of the Funding Note or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of the Secured Parties, but at Global Funding's expense, to the extent permitted by law to exercise, at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of the Collateral:

(a): to demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance for any and all monies due or to become due thereon or by virtue thereof,
(b): to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto,
(c): to sell, transfer, assign or otherwise deal in or with the same or the proceeds or avails thereof, as fully and effectually as if the Funding Note Indenture Trustee were the absolute owner thereof, and
(d): to extend the time of payment of any or all thereof and to make any allowance and other adjustments with reference thereto;

PROVIDED that the Funding Note Indenture Trustee shall give Global Funding not less than 10 days' prior notice of the time and place of any sale or other intended disposition of any of the Collateral, except any part of the Collateral which threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market.

SECTION 14.6 REMEDIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Funding Note Indenture Trustee may exercise on behalf of the Holders of the Funding Note all rights of a secured party under applicable law and, in addition, the Funding Note Indenture Trustee may, without being required to give any notice, except as provided in the Funding Note Indenture or as may be required by mandatory provisions of law, (i) apply all cash, if any, then held by it as all or part of the Collateral as specified in Section 5.3 and (ii) if there shall be

no such cash or if such cash shall be insufficient to pay all the Obligations in full, sell the Collateral (including each applicable Funding Agreement) or any part thereof at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as the Funding Note Indenture Trustee may deem satisfactory. Any Holder may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral so sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, at any private sale). Global Funding will execute and deliver such documents and take such other action as the Funding Note Indenture Trustee deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sale may be made in compliance with law. Upon any such sale the Funding Note Indenture Trustee shall have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold to it absolutely and free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Global Funding which may be waived, and Global Funding, to the extent permitted by law, specifically waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any law. The notice (if any) of such sale shall (A) in the case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, and (B) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may be consummated. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Funding Note Indenture Trustee may fix in the notice of such sale. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Funding Note Indenture Trustee may determine. The Funding Note Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. The Funding Note Indenture Trustee may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Funding Note Indenture Trustee until the selling price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but the Funding Note Indenture Trustee shall not incur any liability in the case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. The Funding Note Indenture Trustee, instead of exercising the power of sale conferred upon it in the Funding Note Indenture, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose a Security Interest and sell any Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 14.7 LIMITATION ON DUTIES OF FUNDING NOTE INDENTURE TRUSTEE WITH RESPECT TO COLLATERAL. Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, the Funding Note Indenture Trustee shall have no duty as to any portion of the Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. The Funding Note Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property, and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehouseman, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other agent or bailee selected by the Funding Note Indenture Trustee in good faith.

SECTION 14.8 CONCERNING THE FUNDING NOTE INDENTURE TRUSTEE. In furtherance and not in derogation of the rights, privileges and immunities of the Funding Note Indenture Trustee specified in the Funding Note Indenture:

(a): the Funding Note Indenture Trustee is authorized to take all such action as is provided to be taken by it as Funding Note Indenture Trustee under this Article and all other action reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for in this Article (including, without limitation, the timing and methods of realization upon any Collateral) the Funding Note Indenture Trustee shall act or refrain from acting in accordance

with written instructions from the Holder or Holders of the required percentage of aggregate principal amount of the Funding Note for any instructions or, in the absence of such instructions, in accordance with its discretion; and

(b): the Funding Note Indenture Trustee shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Security Interest in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part under the Funding Note Indenture.

SECTION 14.9 TERMINATION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Upon the repayment in full of all Obligations, the Security Interest shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Global Funding. Upon such termination of a Security Interest, and delivery of a certificate by Global Funding to such effect, the Funding Note Indenture Trustee will, at the expense of Global Funding, execute and deliver to Global Funding such documents as Global Funding shall reasonably request to evidence the termination of the Security Interest.
